It has been eighteen years since the first World Top Model was held in Zurich in 1990, and so much has changed in the World – but Fashion and Beauty has remained a central part of our lives. On its 27th edition, the World Top Model event has been held in over global capitals and has been hosted by such names as Claudia Schiffer, Valeria Mazza, Markus Schenkenberg, Grace Jones, Richard Clayderman, Zucchero, Marianne Faithfull, Brigitte Nielsen, and many others. In the past, the event has been organized in Milan, Zurich, Monte Carlo, Berlin, Palma de Mallorca, Rome, Zanzibar, Gothenburg, Lugano, Prague, Budapest, Courmayeur and now it is in Budapest. As San Remo does for music or Cannes for cinema, we wish to establish Budapest and the World Top Model contest as the most known competition in the modelling world. Once a year, the event selects a model that best represents the Values of the modelling and fashion industry. The objective of the event is to highlight the importance the Model plays in fashion industry, and in doing so pay homage to Beauty and to Fashion. This year we introduce the “World Top Model Award” Award of Merit in Beauty: a prize to be awarded to professionals that have performed an outstanding service to the Modelling profession and the Fashion industry – agencies, photographers, make-up artists, advertisers, hair stylists, fashion designers, media, etc. Many of the models that have won the WTM contest have had brilliant careers – they have been represented by the most important model agencies and have worked for the leading fashion brands and designers all over the world. The World Top Model event is recorded and broadcasted globally.
